Sally is about to premedicate a surgical patient with 0.011mg/kg of glycopyrrolate. What reason(s) do she and the veterinarian have for using this drug?
  1. Increases heart rate
  2. Dries secretions
  3. Long duration of action
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D. Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic that increases heart rate, dries secretions, and has a longer duration of action compared to atropine. These effects prevent anesthesia-induced bradycardia, facilitate visualization of arytenoids for intubation, and limit re-dosing in most routine and short surgical procedures.
